THINK SAFETY IS BORING?
THINK AGAIN.

INCREASE EXCITEMENT WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES.


 

 

 

Maybe it’s all the charts and graphs. The endless reports. Or the long list of rules and regulations. Whatever the reason, it can be hard to get any team excited about safety. Technology can help.

 

 

THEIR SAFETY MATTERS

A safety culture is about keeping your team alive and well and letting them know their safety matters to you. What better way to engage them than with new technology?


 

 

 

New tech devices HELP YOUR PEOPLE

New safety solutions are arriving on construction sites all the time. Focus on how new technology can help your team by coupling it with effective change management to support successful implementation and make sure those who will be impacted the most have buy-in.

 

 

DRONES

WHAT THEY DO: Survey dangerous or protected environments; fly over cranes and other high areas for inspection and monitoring; track site progress and production volume — quickly and safely.

HOW THEY HELP: Fast, safe, high-volume data capture keeps operators away from risky areas; less expensive than manned aircraft.

Virtual or augmented reality

WHAT THEY DO: VR and AR simulate dangerous situations so workers can safely learn and practice proper procedures; give safety pros a way to visually communicate site hazards to managers and design team; capture data to improve future training.

HOW THEY HELP: Immerse workers in realistic — yet safe — experiences; more engaging than traditional tools.

Activity & Sleep Trackers

WHAT THEY DO: Monitor activity levels, sleep patterns and changes to the internal “body clock”; identify those who are rested enough to work safely — and those who are not.

HOW THEY HELP: Help workers get the rest they need to be safe and prevent accidents; accessible way to study sleep behavior; used in actual work and sleep environments.

In-Cab Fatigue Detection Systems

WHAT THEY DO: Measure equipment operators' eye and eyelid movement; identify and alert sleepy or distracted operators; alert professional safety advisers who classify fatigue and distraction events and initiate intervention plans.

HOW THEY HELP: Can be used as effective wake-up alarms; "guardian angels" on duty 24/7; hard data for training and risk management.

Culture Check

Investing in new technology makes a visible statement about your commitment to safety. But demonstrating real commitment to safety happens when all levels of the organization are proactively involved in and take ownership of safety. Demonstrate safety excellence by having:

  • Top leaders visibly committed
  • Middle managers actively involved
  • Front-line leaders performance focused
  • Hourly employees actively participating in safety improvements
  • A flexible safety system that accommodates site culture
  • A safety system that is positively perceived

POSITIVE WORKPLACE

A strong safety culture helps build a positive workplace where people feel engaged, heard, seen and safe. Practicing jobsite safety means your people can go home safe every day — to watch a movie with kids, eat pizza with friends and so much more.

 

 

Consider how addressing safety issues today will not only ensure your team heads home tonight from work, but also sustains your business for years to come.
